Being silly: Sam Simmons at TEDxSydney
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июн 2012
- Sam Simmons is one of the most daring and unconventional comics in Australia if not the world. Completely original and vastly absurd, he has one foot firmly planted into the soils of reality, and the other rooted deep into the psyche of being silly.
TEDxSydney 2012 took place on Saturday 26 May 2012 at Carriageworks. Tens of thousands of people enjoyed the day: 800 in the theatre, over 1,000 via big screen simulcast in The Forum, many thousands online via RUclips and ABC Big Ideas ... and up to 80,000 tuning in to ABC Radio National.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

Sam Simmons is an artist. The best is yet to come from this guy and he will only get better with age. I think he is fantastic.
It's pretty avant-garde humor, but that speech was something else. Reminded me of the Trainspotting monologues of 'choose life'.
Watch what i think is his latest before he was bullied out of comedy entirely. 2018 melbourne festival. one of the funniest in 4 minutes things ive seen
@@geocyberwolf he's got a new show booked at this year's Fringe festival at least.
I come back here every time I feel a bit overwhelmed by stuff.
Thank you Mr. Simmons
Saw him at the Edinburgh Fringe a few years ago, thought this guy is a bit weird even for the Fringe then little by little he won us over. We were in hysterics by the end.
George Mortimer yeah that's how he operates 😉
Lol! I first saw Sam on Rebel Wilson's Last One Laughing. He was by far the funniest comic there!
The best reason to be a parent is so one day you can be a grandparent and do great stuff like that. Long LIve Silly
Wow! The first Ted talk I've actually enjoyed, and the first one that hasn't been so smug and self-congratulatory it made me want to vomit! And it's definitely the most inspiring I've ever seen.
Sam Simmons is an absolute genius of comedy. Always looking forward to what you will do next Sam
This is beautiful. I come back and watch it ever now and then when I need a good laugh.
the best Ted Talk in the history of Ted Talks!
ive been waiting so long for him!
Sam Simmons you are a legend!
Thank you for bring this to my life Jackman Works
❤ amazing, love his humour so much!
“Silly Isn't a luxury, it costs nothing” this is more important than ever in regards to how people live. “I can be silly once I've made it” attitude I see a lot.
He’s absolutely right.
For the longest time I went by the motto “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!” ya know, from Ms. Frizzle on the magic school bus.
Watch Sam, turn off the news, and be silly!
If *THIS* is how funny Sam is,... imagine Sam's Grandfather!!
He sounds like a real Hero, would loved to have met him!
Watching this during covid and a covid add came up at 1:18 that said "HOPE LIVES HERE". Damn right it lives here haha.
Love, love, love The Simmons.
Love this guy.
Absolutely brilliant.

Keith apicary + Sam Simmons. This must happen
There's a time and place for things. Take humor via tongue in check. Have we really conquered anything? Are we foolish in thinking such?
+Albert Dombrowski II Tongue in check sounds like something a doctor does to make sure you can speak properly. Poor attempt at sounding profound, I've crapped more mysterious shit than that.
MEXEMO!
He appears to be excited?
